A BBC poll of 22 countries found that Obama is preferred by a four-to-one margin over McCain to become the next US president. The 22,500 people surveyed, the most common view is that Obama will improve foreign relations, while McCain would keep things the same as they are under the current administration.
Interestingly, this poll was held prior to the national conventions and the media frenzy surrounding Sarah Palin's placement on the Republican ticket. I wonder if the results would stay the same if the same poll was taken now?A BBC poll of 22 countries found that Obama is preferred by a four-to-one margin over... more

Sarah Palin's stump speeches have largely stuck to the same script (what the AP describes as "a greatest hits of her convention speech). However, one line that constantly shows up is that Palin said "thanks, but no thanks, to that 'bridge to nowhere.'" Palin's claim of opposing the 'bridge to nowhere' has been proven false, yet she refuses to drop the line. Watch Palin use this exact line in seven different stump speeches since the end of the...

A couple of days ago, along with hundreds and hundreds of John McCain supporters who actually know how to use the Internet, I received an email from Mr. McCain's campaign manager Rick Davis (Yes, I subscribe to McCain's email alerts so I can stay on top of the latest GOP/McCain plans to attack Barack Obama). In the email was a link to the copyright violating ad which the McCain team recently put together called "Fan Club".
Amazingly this is the McCain Campaign's plan of attack. Since there are no more Rev. Wright's left and we're not quite due for that re-run yet) the Republicans have weirdly chosen to attack Obama for being popular. I have questioned the wisdom of Rick Davis before here at TSR, but this is getting more and more absurd.
Many of the ads McCain is running don't actually say anything bad about Barack Obama. They just have clips of people saying good things about Obama along with a sarcastic or ominous voice-over and one line at the end which asks "is he ready to lead?" Supposedly that makes it an attack ad, but it still is just strange.
At least in "Fan Club", which you'll see below, they did throw in a lie about Obama, but then went right back to into a bunch of clips of people talking about how great he is.
Anyhow, rather than just writing a post about what a bad job Rick Davis is doing I decided to tell him directly via a sarcastic email asking him for the link, or some sort of contact information, so that I can join the Barack Obama Fan Club discussed in the ad. While it is not nearly as funny as a drunken email to the DNC, I thought all of you might enjoy reading it.
